JUDGMENT ENTRY The first assignment of error, in which the defendant alleges that the State presented insufficient evidence, is overruled because the State presented testimony from the alleged victim that touched on all elements of the charge. “[T]he testimony of one witness, if believed by the jury, is sufficient to support a conviction.” State v. Carter, 2024-Ohio-444, ¶ 26 (10th Dist.).

The second assignment of error, which focuses on the trial court’s denial of a continuance request, is also overruled. The trial court acted within its discretion when it denied the morning-of-trial request for another delay after the trial had already been delayed two other times.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
